Toffoli will become a free agent on July 1st, without any restrictions, and he will be able to sign with the team of his choice.

According to TFP, Toffoli wants a four-year contract.
Toffoli, 32, has collected 44 points in 61 games this season with the New Jersey Devils, including 26 goals, and he added 11 points (7 goals) in 18 games with the Winnipeg Jets.
In total, we're talking about 55 points and 33 goals this season for someone who was traded at the 2024 trade deadline in exchange for second and third-round picks.
Of course, we also remember that Tyler Toffoli also amassed 44 points in 52 games with the Montreal Canadiens in 2020-21, and 26 points in 37 games before being traded by Kent Hughes in 2021-22.
